Simple method increases the efficacy of T cell therapy by cytokine conjugation

The recent years have seen a wave of adoptive cell therapies (ACTs), a type of immunotherapy in which T cells (T cell transfer therapy) and other immune cells are obtained from patients, activated and multiplied outside the body, and infused in larger numbers back into the blood circulation to help fight cancers.
